13. GOODNESS
(SATTVA)
PASSION (RAJO) IGNORANCE (TAMO)

14. O son of Bharata, know that the mode of
darkness, born of ignorance, is the
delusion of all embodied living entities. The
results of this mode are madness,
indolence and sleep, which bind the
conditioned soul.
IGNORANCE (3rd class)
BG 14.8

increase in the mode of passion the

desire and hankering develop.

PASSION (2nd class)

16. O sinless one, the mode of goodness, being
purer than the others, is illuminating, and it
frees one from all sinful reactions. Those

a sense of happiness and knowledge.

activities, and never be attached to not doing your
duty.
LESSON 2 (Contd.)
BG 2.47

intelligence of those who are
irresolute is many-branched.
LESSON 3: CLARITY
OF GOALS
BG 2.49

which arises from sleep, laziness and illusion is
said to be of the nature of ignorance.
LESSON 4 (Contd.)
BG 18.37

22. That happiness which is derived from
contact of the senses with their objects and

BG 18.38

BG 18.37
1st class pleasure

24. That action which is regulated and which is

goodness.
LESSON 5: MINDFULNESS
OF ACTIONS
BG 18.23

25. But action performed with great effort by
one seeking to gratify his desires, and
enacted from a sense of false ego, is called
action in the mode of passion.
LESSON 5 (Contd.)
BG 18.24

26. That action performed in illusion, in disregard
of scriptural injunctions, and without concern
for future bondage or for violence or distress
caused to others is said to be in the mode of
ignorance.
LESSON 5 (Contd.)
BG 18.25

27. While contemplating the objects of the
senses, a person develops attachment for
them, and from such attachment lust
develops, and from lust anger arises.
LESSON 6: ANGER
MANAGEMENT

full of fault.
